That's Donini's dad at Dohini right after the ark landed on Mt. AraRAT in the Middle East.

You got a lot of breaks just like that.

No shoreline, no surfing.

That old dirtbag was Jonesing for some beach-time after "40 days and 40 nights."

Without getting into a heated debate/masturbate about religion and literal meaning versus general symbology, Father John Syneski, a secular priest from Chi-town who drove a splendid Bonny Convertible with the funds his family provided, explained to the sophomore religion class that forty days in scriptures is generally accepted as meaning only "an extended period of time."

He pointed out that anyone will die if they deprive themselves of food and water in the desert.

For that matter, the phrase "in the desert" can be taken to mean "in a state of spiritual dilemma," or "in a dark night of the soul."

Whilst it's easy to understand J. Donini's reputation in the world, I have yet to understand how and why Doheny became immortalized as a surfing spot by cuz Brian. I doubt that there has been a decent surfing wave since Noah built his Ark (in the Otay River Bed, after the damn broke in ... long story).

Otay once had a watch factory. It failed. Not hard to understand. How hard is it to tell when manana is? (bad form, I know, just like the waves at Doo-heny).

The earliest recollection I have, since you refer to me as yo primo, is of my Cousin Doug visiting me in my playprison, age two. Swear! The corporate 'they' all say it's not possible, but I remember it, posolutely absutively.

This is very interesting, as it suggests that the processes of memory are not greatly inhibited by most of the forms of cellular damage that causes aging, at least in mice, and that this portion of mental decline occurs due to one of the epigenetic responses to that damage.
